The company has produced firmware upgrades that solve the problem,
which relate to a bug in Billion's code, not Microsoft's. It relates
to the fact that Microsoft has started issuing "flag 43" as part of
DHCP messages to the modem -- something that has been built into the
DHCP specification for 11 years, but not actually used in Windows
until XP SP 3.
Anyway, the "What's the Best OS Poll" is pretty funny. Why? Because
Windows for Workgroups appears in the list, and DOS weighs in at a hefty
9%.
